National calisthenics is a comprehensive exercise form that combines national cultural elements with physical exercise. In terms of teaching methods, we need to pay attention to the following aspects: First, make clear the teaching objectives. Determine the overall goal of teaching, including cultivating students' physical quality and enhancing students' recognition and understanding of national culture. Secondly, pay attention to basic skills training. By repeatedly practicing basic movements, postures and skills, students can be helped to establish a correct movement foundation and improve their coordination and flexibility. Third, teaching by stages. According to students' level and ability, the teaching content is divided into different stages, and the difficulty is gradually increasing. At the same time, we should pay attention to guiding students to adapt to rhythm and beat. Fourth, heuristic teaching. In the teaching process, students are encouraged to think, innovate and express actively. Cultivate students' creativity and teamwork ability through open-ended questions and group cooperation. Finally, focus on cultivating interest and stimulating motivation. Music, games and other interesting elements are added to the teaching, so that students can participate in it, enjoy the fun of sports and improve their learning enthusiasm.
